The Qutebrowser dependency list says it can use either QtWebEngine (Chromium) or QtWebKit (WebKit):

> QtWebEngine, or alternatively QtWebKit (5.212) - This is not recommended due to known security issues in QtWebKit, you most likely want to use qutebrowser with the default QtWebEngine backend (based on Chromium) instead. Quoting the QtWebKit releases page: [The latest QtWebKit] release is based on [an] old WebKit revision with known unpatched vulnerabilities. Please use it carefully and avoid visiting untrusted websites and using it for transmission of sensitive data.

To use Geko (or hopefully Quantum) with Qutebrowser you would need a nice QT integration. Poking around a bit, it looks like Mozilla and Nokia did some work on this in 2008, but it doesn’t seem it ever got out of beta:

It would be useful to know how this software extends the capabilities of the SQLite CLI. For example, see the dot commands for database introspection.

This discussion is tiring. That initial resolution was overblown as well.

> However, the resolution makes a fundamental misunderstanding: encryption is an absolute. Data is either encrypted or it isn’t; users have privacy, or they don’t.

Well, but as always, it isn't. Or are they encrypting all customer data with the same key?

Are provisions in the US good enough? But then you have the NSA, etc.

Privacy is a right on the legal sense. Should anything be unaccesible to law? (in the legal and in the technological sense, but they're two separate issues). This is more of an ethical question than a legal/technological one.

But back to the initial statement: no phone or system is 100% secure.

A "backdoor" implies a secret (to both user and provider) extraction of the data. Now, a judicially authorized/vetted extraction of data of a specific customer/timeframe is a different thing (even better, make it forward/backward secret). Sure, it is alarming and certainly ethically debatable. But it is not "a backdoor"
Yeah, just ignore any PR that doesn’t pass the tests. Also a good way to weed out the people that don’t care enough to fix it if they break something.
I have no idea why people with money want to change the world.
But that Typeform has too many questions.
Yeah, I agree, but the people who want to use DSLRs are fewer and farther between. Even news organizations are laying off their pro shooters, and telling their print/video newspeople to use smartphones.

Also, computational photography is a big deal. This is something that smartphones are uniquely positioned to do.
I am not saying we should be apologetic about it at all.

However, I am saying we can improve the effectiveness of the time we spend by an order of magnitude without much effort. We just need to want it. Interestingly, I also observed that solving problems without reading code leads to increased happiness, too.
>This release integrates Brave's Rust adblocking library if the "adblock" Python library is available.

I can't parse this. It's a Rust library in a C++ browser but you need a Python library to use it?

Beyond that and given how glitchy Tridactyl is on firefox I'll be sure to check this out. I'm just a bit bummed that it's yet another chromium-based browser, but I guess there's no real viable alternative these days.

Launch HN: Arpio (YC W21) – Protect your business from AWS outages, ransomware
Hello HN! We’re Shaw [sterwill] and Doug [doug_neumann] and today we’re very excited to share Arpio with you (https://arpio.io). Arpio is a SaaS that protects AWS environments from downtime by making it easy to recover from outages, ransomware, cyber-attacks, and human error.

What that means is that when critical AWS services go down (like the Kinesis outage in November [0]), Arpio can launch identical workloads in a healthy region. Or if a bad actor does bad things in an AWS environment (like Codespaces [1] or Webex Teams [2]), Arpio can quickly restore everything to an alternate AWS account.

Our story goes back to the big S3 outage of 2017. In February that year an AWS employee made a typo at the command line, and inadvertently took down much of AWS’s Northern Virginia region. That outage lasted 5 hours, and we were among the thousands of companies impacted.

All outages suck, but the timing on this one was particularly bad for our business. And worse, we had no control -- all we could do was wait for Amazon to get us back online. As you can imagine, the execs weren’t exactly happy about that...

With Arpio, we’re building the solution we wish we’d had back then. Arpio maintains an exact replica of your production AWS environment in a different region (that you choose) and optionally in a locked-down AWS account (that you own).

This recovery environment includes your data and your infrastructure, and it’s updated frequently as your environment evolves. It’s also checkpointed, so you can roll back to a prior state to recover from data corruption or ransomware. And when you aren’t using it, it’s dormant, so you don’t have to pay AWS for resources you don’t need.

But when you need it (or want to test it), Arpio can have it up and running in a few minutes.

Disaster recovery is usually custom-engineered for a given workload. With Arpio, we’re building a general-purpose solution that works for most AWS workloads. We handle the complexity ensuring every route table is rewired, every security group rule is correct, every private IP address is preserved, and every database hostname is aliased. And handling that complexity makes Arpio simple to implement. We can often get new customers onboarded in under an hour.

Arpio works today with EC2, EBS, RDS, ECS, ECR, ELB, VPC, IAM, ACM, Autoscaling, Cognito, ElastiCache, and CloudWatch. We’re delivering Beanstalk and EFS support in the coming weeks. If we don’t yet support your environment, drop a comment below - we’d love to get your feedback on what we should build next.

We encourage you to take it for a spin. Or if you’re up for a chat, send me a note (doug[at]arpio.io) - I’d love to walk you through it in person.

So, HN, what do you think? We’re excited to get your feedback!

Thanks,
Shaw & Doug

Perhaps humanity does not deserve, full on, massively massive communication networks.
You can use the userscripts : https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/tree/master/misc/...

For example for pass:

config.bind('some key', 'spawn --userscript qute-pass')
IF the maintainer(s) offer contracting and it bothers you so much, have you considered paying them 1-2 hours to have a look at the issue/solution? If you are putting food on my mouth AND potentially fixing an issue, that'd be normally much better. Any patch review is extra work for the maintainer, which they are in their right of not wanting to do it.
Mate, every medium-sized company and above has an investment by PE and VC. You can literally pull any company with above $10 mm EBITDA and there will be no more than two degrees of separation between them and Steve Cohen/any other big financiier
Banks keep some buffer of funds around.

As a simple analogy: on a basic level, I eat what I buy in the grocery store.

And with more details: I keep some food in the fridge. I always just eat when it makes business sense to do so. But when my fridge is running low, I get more food from the grocery store.
You can quantify a firm's market power by asking how much the firm could raise prices while the customers would stick with it. If raising the price one cent causes all your customers to abandon you, then you have zero market power. If you can raise prices 10x and sell just as much product, then you have total market power.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_power#Elasticity_of_dem...

For a free product, the analogy to "raising prices" would be "adding annoyances or other negatives to the product".
Looking at how you will feel with the tenths of degree of temperature rise each year/decade is the wrong mindset. Because what goes up "slow" and steady is what we add of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.

We don't feel temperature as global averages over a year, we feel heatwaves of maybe days over 45ºC, hailstorms, hurricanes, droughts and massive loss of crops. Our cities won't go because a slow and steady, centimeter by centimeter rise of the sea level, will get ocassionally flooded by each time more frequent storms, till we decide that we should abandon them. An that won't happen evenly on all the world.

Regarding the "slow" rise of greenhouse gases, it happens orders above of what a person, or an organized and large enough group of persons can revert, the industries add really big amount of CO2 and methane to the atmosphere each year. But that slow rise gets jumps, not because what we do, but because triggering possitive feedback loop processes, like each time more frequent forest fires, loss of ice reflecting sunlight, and warming polar regions (that have a lot of frozen greenhouse gases, that are getting released in massive scale by now). And some of those positive feedback mechanisms will work by us, when most of us must take measures against the effects of extreme weather, like everyone having air conditioners and turned on most of the time.

Personal action won't make a difference, at least directly on global climate, the only thing at a large enough scale that could do something to slow down the trend are the big industries, and they won't do anything to affect their profits till is too late already. And regarding governments, the last 5 years already showed us that matter for most of them are profits and short term results too.

Maybe the Great Filter is already with us since we invented money, all that came after till this point just took the path of least resistance.
Arguably, because we don't put people into office who are able and/or willing to require people to act responsibly. If we chose our politicians more carefully, we'd see better results. But we don't, so we get what we choose.
That this kind of thing is on the table shows how short our memories are. After the Snowden revelations (among others), now governments expect us to believe they have pure intentions when it comes to breaking encryption?
Nigerian fintech startup, Cowrywise, raises $3m pre-Series A funding
>"oh, he hurt my feelings, stop him"

We're long past the point where feelings need to actually be hurt to take action.

Half the time it's "oh, he might hurt someone else's feelings, stop him"
It's a primary source of information for over a billion people at this point. It's probably not a good idea to have that monopolized by corporate or government interest
>Strong end-to-end encryption essentially means that the police cannot access communications ever, even if they get a warrant because they don't have a technical mean to do so.

This isn't true. It means they cannot access communications without revealing to at least one of the communicating parties that they are doing so. The messages are still decrypted on the endpoint devices for reading, a warrant could be used to acquire those devices from their owners. Device encryption can complicate this some of the time, but that remains fairly hit-and-miss (and is a separate issue, you could have mandatory key disclosure without backdoored E2E and vice versa).

>the police has always been able to access those communications should it be necessary and according to the law.

And neither is this. To find out the contents of a verbal conversation that was not recorded (most of them, even today) the police would need to ask one of the participants to tell them what happened, and the participants can usually refuse to self-incriminate. Even if the conversation was recorded the recording would usually be in the possession of one of the participants as recording a conversation while not being a participant is illegal, at least where I live.
To find out the contents of a letter they would need to intercept it during transit or recover it from its destination at a later date. If the letter has been destroyed they're back to asking the recipient or sender to tell them what it said who again can usually refuse to testify.
To find out what was said via instant messaging under this no end-to-end encryption scheme, they can, at any time, simply ask a third party who cannot refuse to testify. This is an utterly unprecedented invasion of privacy and I struggle to see anything that could justify it in a (part of the) world where crime seems to be on a downward trend.
If you are writing something to contribute it to a project, then you should discuss the idea with the current committers/maintainer on the project's mailing list, or discord, or however they communicate.

If you don't, and you submit a PR, you should expect the PR to be closed with a "Unfortunately, this change was not discussed. As a result it may clash with other efforts underway, or our future roadmap. Also, not having discussed it prior to the PR increases the suspicion that you have not followed our coding guidelines. Consequently this PR is closed. Please propose the change on the mailing list and take part in the discussion before revising this patch and resubmitting the PR."

Because of this I think an auto-close is fine. I also do think Github should allow disabling the PR tab.
It has pretty much always been illegal to encrypt Telex as far as I know. Not that telex matters much any more, does anyone still use it?
perl11.org was forgotten to be paid last year (not me). So it is gone also.

is this similar to the Australian encryption rules that was imposed in the recent years ?

> But the proposals are the digital equivalent of giving law enforcement a key to every citizens’ home

To be fair, it’s more like giving law enforcement the key to everyones heavily fortified unobtanium bunker. There’s no way they can possibly get in if the owner doesn’t let them.
When I first visited the Netherlands in 2017 I observed public transportation was transitioning to plastic card only payments.

That was my first impression about the country in privacy context, not being able to use cash is a big attack on privacy.
But this was for an RFP. they would’ve had to continue to obligate that money likely for years to come.
> ... this isn't going to end well for the average consumer. My prediction is reddit will shutdown wsb because that's what reddit does. And there will be more laws made targeting individuals engaging in this sort of activity (basically coordinating with groups of people). This may hurt newsletters and other financial venues. The large hedge funds will be fine, we might see a few bailouts, and life will go on.

I totally agree, but it's not like there's a level playing field now. If the new regs enshrine the current reality in law then maybe there'll be more hope for fundamental reform.

Basically what we probably have now is a behavior that is legal so long as no one engages in it. Losing a fake option is not losing anything.

> I don't see how this is different than what is constantly being criticized such as flash crashes, contagion and large moves based on rumors, other than the group benefiting (fiscally irresponsible internet strangers vs fiscally irresponsible professionals)

Isn't that the whole point WSB is making? This is not different and the media treating it as something crazy or new is disingenuous.
I suspect mainly technical. Chromium is already embedded everywhere, Gecko a lot less so (I can't even come up with a single modern example, although I'm sure they have to exist). There's probably a lot fewer resources and support if you decide to go the Gecko route.

I also vaguely remember reading somewhere that Gecko is a lot harder to work with for third parties due to unstable APIs and frequent breakage, but don't quote me on on this.
Did NASA change too much? The history of the Columbia's disaster is very similar. They had a known problem and they underestimated it.
I am surprised Canon, Nikon and the likes did not introduce this (Computational stuff) into their DSLR lines. With the battery space and lesser constraints than a mobile, they have more space to add such enhancements.

Heck, they could release an iPhone companion app that does the same with low res pics from the camera.

Add detailed lens info that they have and other data about their cameras, they could build a photo super machine.

They could have added depth sensors, lidars, etc to accentuate their DSLR lines.
He’s just tying to save for undermining democracies around the world and allowing Facebook to be used for genocide (Rohingya).
I like the way qutebrowser works and the way it avoids wasting space, and I wish I could use it. But over several versions of Ubuntu and qutebrowser, I’ve encountered too many problems; I think most are due to the qtwebengine and the fact that qutebrowser is made with Python.

The latter often leads to the familiar dependency hell when trying to install or upgrade the program.

I have frequent crashes, it’s slow at rendering pages, it uses more memory than (for example) chromium and seems to leak memory; any kind of CSS animation causes the CPU to have a major workout. After one upgrade most video stopped working.

I never cared about the ad blocker, as I use a hosts file for that. Why doesn’t everyone? It seems to be a better solution.
The Structured Process Behind Developing a Successful MVP [2021 Guide]
If I'm understanding correctly, once a drug patent expires there are 2 possibilities:

1) The FDA grants a single company the exclusive right to manufacture, distribute, market and sell a generic version of a drug. In this case, the price will be lower than the brand drug, but not by much, since there's only one maker and no competition.

2) Several drug companies are allowed to design their own versions of the brand drug. Because there are several competing brands with essentially the same product in the marketplace, competition causes the prices drop.

If your company targets the first type, you replace another company as the sole producer of the generic, and there's still no competition to drive the price down.

If you target the second type, you become an additional competitor to the other generic drug makers, so the market gets a bit more competitive, but the prices in theory were already competitive because of the number of makers. For example, the Lexapro generic Escitalopram has many makers, so you can get it for as low as $10.

So in terms of generics, the options are either single source agreements where pricing won't be competitive by design, or multiple makers, where the pricing is likely already competitive. Having said that, which of those does your company want to target, and how do they plan to tackle it?
Those stories land on the table when we’ve already lost. We have the entire state apparatus weighing all its might in favor of one side, and we’re trying to collect citizen’s opinions to show that what the EU does isn’t derived from power voluntarily granted by the peons. Sorry, by the « voting citizen ».
You also have to reject any PR that modifies the tests. Otherwise the maintainer now has to validate test suite integrity any time they accept a PR.
The Inkplate 10 is being crowdfunded right now for 129$ + shipping.[1] I hope it will be available directly on the website soon as well, as they get shipped from Croatia to the US to be shipped to customers, which would make it unnecessarily expensive to me in Sweden, as I'd have to pay customs duty.

> Would people want a chip which is basically unpredictable

Judging by the prevalence of (pseudo-) random numbers in machine learning, I'd say yes. Reentrancy is a big plus, but not always a dealbreaker.

It's possible we might end up with a sort of left/right-brain setup, with a noisy analog hypothesis generator paired with a robust, logic-based evaluator/planner.
There is, large market moves down over last few days are mostly due to hedge funds selling off longs to cover their shorts. If you look at GSVIP ETF (GS ETF for most loved names by hedge funds) it was down 4% yesterday. The short squeeze is real but I think funds are mostly out of it now (or ones remaining in the short have shorted at higher prices and in reasonable proportion of AUM). There's also a direct negative correlation between short interest and Russel 2000 performance over the last few days.
The problem is that insurances pool everyones money for treatment. No death can be prevented, only deferred.

Huh? TIPS spreads are literally market inflation expectations. Obviously they are amongst the best indicator of future inflation we have.

(Other indicators the Fed uses include internal forecasts.)

Nobody thinks that interest rates are a good indicator of inflation. Certainly no one at the Fed. Or, what do you mean by 'indicator'?

The Fed wants to keep the price level on a stable trajectory, and they use an interest rate target as an intermediate instrument to do so.

An instrument is a very different concept from an indicator, in my understanding. It's like the accelerator pedal vs the speedometer. Do you use the two terms in a different way?

> But changing the interest rate in the process.

Yes, but as a side effect. Just like the Fed actions also influence the exchange rate or the price of gold, but neither of the two is their target nor instrument.

I think it's more of a resource prioritisation thing.

I THINK If the resource is async, it will still scan the document to find all resources before the downloads begin. Adding preload basically just tells the browser that the resource is important and should begin the download immediately.
